Introduction 1.1 This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared on behalf of Rampion Extension Development Limited (“the Applicant”) to explain the purpose and effect of each article of and Schedule to the draft Rampion 2 Offshore Windfarm Order (“Order”). It forms part of the application (“Application”) for a Development Consent Order ('DCO'), that has been submitted to the Secretary of State (the 'SoS') for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, under section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 (the '2008 Act'). 1.2 The Applicant is seeking development consent for an offshore generating station and all infrastructure required to transmit the power generated to the existing Bolney National Grid substation (the 'Authorised Project'). It will comprise a maximum of 116 wind turbine generators. The Authorised Project array area is approximately 270km2, and is located approximately 13km off the Sussex coast in the south of England. A detailed description of the Proposed Development is set out in the Environmental Statement submitted with the Application (Application document xx) 1.3 As the Order seeks to apply and modify statutory provisions, including concerning the compulsory acquisition of land and the treatment of certain requirements as planning conditions, in accordance with sections 117(4) and 120(5) of the Planning Act 2008 (2008 Act), it has been drafted as a statutory instrument. 1.4 It is anticipated that subject to the DCO having been made by the SoS, construction work on the Authorised Project would commence in [20xx].The construction phase would be for a period of up to 4 years.

  • WIND FARMS... What's It All About? 1. Some Years Ago, the Government
    MULBARTON PARISH COUNCIL WIND FARMS... What’s it all about? 1. Some years ago, the government decided to lease out parts of the sea bed for offshore wind farms. So far, there have been three leasing rounds, each one including larger projects than the one before. The rent is paid to the Crown Estate, which hands it over to the government as tax income. 2. The Round 1 wind farms are quite small, and were connected into the grid locally. There is an example of a Round 1 project at Scroby Sands (60MW), built off the coast of Cromer in 2004. 3. The Round 2 projects are much larger, and they have to be connected into the high voltage transmission network: Project Capacity Grid connection point Lincs 270MW Walpole, near Kings Lynn Race Bank 600MW Walpole, near Kings Lynn Dudgeon 400MW Necton, North Norfolk Sheringham Shoal 320MW Salle, North Norfolk Greater Gabbard 500MW Sizewell, Suffolk Total: 2,090MW 4. For comparison, Norwich uses 600MW of electricity, and the existing nuclear power station at Sizewell produces 1,200MW. This means that Norfolk already has enough green energy supplies, even allowing for the fact that the wind only blows 50% of the time in winter, and 25% in summer. So, what’s the problem? 5. The total UK peak demand for electricity is about 40,000MW, so the UK needs a lot more renewable energy. The main centres of demand for electricity are in London and the south east. 6. In 2007 the government decided to go ahead with the Round 3 projects.
